Les distorsions cognitives des auteurs d’agression sexuelle d’enfant : définitions, fonctions, et enjeux théoriques

Biopsychosocial characteristics of sex offenders: An analysis of legal proceedings

“…The denial of aggression was another psychological characteristic that was similar between the three groups (G1, G2 and G3), that is, all the individuals in the groups denied having committed sexual aggression. The studies on the cognition of sex offenders against children/adolescents have indicated the presence of several cognitive distortions in this population, ranging from those who tend to deny the act to those who deny and/or minimize the act (Schneider & Wright, 2001;Vanderstukken et al, 2015;Walton et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition to these characteristics, another psychological attribute that plays a prominent role in research is the cognitive distortions of sex offenders against children/adolescents, that is, distorted thinking patterns that explain or justify their aggressive behavior. Studies on cognitive distortion have frequently suggested the presence of different thinking patterns in this population, which ranges from those who tend to deny the act to those who minimize aggression (Schneider & Wright, 2001;Vanderstukken, Benbouriche, Pham, & Lefebvre, 2015;Walton et al, 2017).…”

“…As argued, some of these biological, psychological and social characteristics have been studied exclusively and/or interdependently. Among these characteristics, the following may be included: poor social competence, low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, feelings of vulnerability, difficulty in interpersonal relationships with adults, feeling of being physically unattractive, several problems related to sexual fulfillment, humiliation and loneliness (Schneider & Wright, 2001;Vanderstukken et al, 2015;Walton et al, 2017).…”

Perfil sociodemográfico, judicial e experiências na família de origem de homens que cumprem pena por estupro de vulnerável

“…No contexto internacional, pode-se observar que as publicações envolvendo não somente vítimas, mas também vitimizadores sexuais infantis, abrangem um leque vasto, mesmo se tratando de uma temática bastante delicada (Seto et al, 2015;Vanderstukken, Benbouriche, Pham & Lefebvre, 2015). Estudos internacionais (Dyshniku, Murray, Fazio, Lykins & Cantor, 2015;Fazio, Lykins & Cantor, 2014) enfatizam questões biológicas e respostas fisiológicas a demandas relacionadas à interação sexual entre crianças e/ou adolescentes com adultos.…”

“…Em menor número, porém mais recentes, encontram-se os estudos que buscam analisar características de personalidade de homens que apresentam interesses sexuais por crianças e/ou adolescentes (Chan, Beauregard & Myers, 2015;Cohen et al, 2018), os que analisam as características de vitimizadores sexuais infantis em contexto intra e extrafamiliar (Costa et al, 2018) e os que analisam os esquemas iniciais desadaptativos de indivíduos apenados por crimes sexuais contra crianças (Henriques, 2016;Vanderstukken et al, 2015). Pesquisas relacionadas às experiências de violência na família de origem de indivíduos condenados por crimes sexuais contra crianças e/ou adolescentes são escassas, mesmo que diversos autores afirmem que crescer em uma família de origem violenta, negligente e estressante são fatores determinantes na perpetuação da violência em uma perspectiva transgeracional (Azevedo, Alves & Tavares, 2018;Falcke, 2020;Pournaghash-Tehrani, & Feizabadi, 2009).…”
